Judith Hermanns Karakterer; Identitetsdannelse Og Oppløsning I Senmoderne Samfunn Og Postmodernistisk Prosa
Judith Hermanns karakterer; identitetsdannelse og oppløsning i senmoderne samfunn og postmodernistisk prosa Masteroppgave i Allmenn litteraturvitenskap av Natalja Olstad Veileder: Drude von der Fehr Høsten 2009 Institutt for litteratur, områdestudier og europeiske språk ved Det humanistiske fakultet, Universitetet i Oslo 1 Takksigelser Takk til Drude von der Fehr for veiledning og til Steinar Finnebraaten for innspill og tålmodighet. En stor takk til mine foreldre Ole Håkon og Tamara Olstad for finansiell støtte gjennom min studietid. 2 Sammendrag ”-Glück ist immer der Moment davor. Die Sekunde vor dem Moment, in dem ich eigentlich glücklich sein sollte, in dieser Sekunde bin ich glücklich und weiss es nicht. Ich habe schon viele Menschen verraten, glaube ich. Und ich finde es schön, Dinge wegen meines Äusseren zu erreichen.” (Judith Hermann. 2008, Sommerhaus, später : 158) Jeg vil i denne oppgaven fordype meg i Judith Hermanns noveller, hentet fra debutsamlingen Sommerhaus, später fra 1998 1, og oppfølgeren Nichts als Gespenster utgitt i 2003 2. Judith Hermann som er født i 1970, i tidligere Vest-Berlin, har mastergrad i tysk og filosofi. Hun ble akseptert ved Berliner Journalistenschule , og dro under utdannelsen til New York hvor hun skrev for den tyskspråklige avisa Aufbau. I USA begynte hennes arbeid med de første skjønnlitterære tekstene. Tilbake i Berlin jobbet hun en kort stund som free-lance journalist før hun mottok Alfred- Döblin -stipendet fra Akademie der Künste i 1997. I 1998 debuterte Hermann med novellesamlingen Sommerhaus, später som består av ni korte tekster. Samlingen høstet strålende kritikker og flere litterære priser, deriblant den prestisjetunge Kleist-prisen. Den ble oversatt til 17 språk og fikk enorm mediedekning i Tyskland. -

International Multidisciplinary Research Journal - ISSN 2424-7073 Gender & Women’s Studies - Volume 1, Issue No.1 (July 2019): Pages 51-55 ©ICRD Publication Seeing the Body in Karen Duve’s This Is Not a Love Song Sayaka Oki Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan Abstract Karen Duve’s novel This Is Not a Love Song is named after a song by Public Image Ltd whose lead singer was Johnny Rotten. It develops intertextual elements related to canonical literature as well as popular culture. The final scene in the novel where Anne and Peter stare at each other in Peter’s home is based on a scene from Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774). Duve’s novel describes this literary scene in connection with the 1996 UEFA European Football Championship in which the English footballer Gareth Southgate famously missed a penalty1. This is an example of the way in which the novel is constructed of a mosaic of high and low cultural citations2. The aim of this literary structure is to overcome a gendered dichotomy. This literary approach shows the influence of Leslie A. Fiedler’s essay Cross the Border—Close the Gap3 (1972), which had a big impact on contemporary literature of the 21st century in Germany. The present study analyzes Karen Duve’s novel, focusing on the aspect of considering gender gaps from post-feminist critical discussions of “bodies and seeing.” It should be asked how the image of Anne’s body is created and in which ways female subjectivity is established in the novel. In this context, it should be especially pointed out that Duve’s novel describes this condition from a humorous literary perspective, in contrast to Goethe’s Werther that has a tragic ending. -

JULIANE WITZKE JULIANE WITZKE Marktplatz der Eitelkeiten: Laien als Kritiker Der Beitrag untersucht anhand von Amazon-Kundenrezensionen zu Werken Ju- dith Hermanns die Beweggründe für deren Verwendung. Dabei wird ersichtlich, dass eine Abgrenzung zur professionellen Literaturkritik vorhanden ist und durch mindestens sechs folgende Gründe ergänzt werden muss: (1.) virtuelle Hilfsbe- reitschaft, (2.) Nacherzählung des Inhalts, (3.) Wertung und Kaufempfehlung, (4.) Beschreibung des Lektüreprozesses mit Empfehlung für Art und Weise des Lesens, (5.) Kommunikationsmittel zwischen Kunden und Autorin sowie (6.) ver- nichtender Umgang mit Hörbüchern. 1 Grundlagen Warum beschreiben Leser1 im Internet ihre Meinung zu den von ihnen ge- lesenen Büchern? Die Beantwortung dieser Frage und damit einhergehend die Betrachtung einer neuen Form der Literaturkritik soll Gegenstand des Beitrags2 sein: die Berücksichtigung der Leser als Kritiker in Form von Meinungsäuße- rungen bei Amazon. Bei dieser Art der Kritik handelt es sich um Äußerungen von Laien, für die in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung bisher kein exaktes Profil definiert wurde. Deshalb ist es bedeutsam herauszufinden, was das Spezifische an dieser Form der Kritik ist und inwieweit diese neuen Ak- teure die Theorie des literarischen Feldes erweitern. Laut Thomas Wegmann gestaltet sich dieser Zusammenhang wie folgt: Offenbar geht es bei der Auseinandersetzung mit Literatur im Web 2.0 nicht selten um die bewusste Kultivierung amateur- oder laienhafter Beobachterpers- pektiven als Alternative zu einem tradierten und institutionalisierten, womöglich gar akademischen Umgang mit literarischen Texten, um die Konstituierung von Freiräumen gegenüber herrschenden Diskursen und ästhetischen Normen. Ent- 1 Die Bezeichnung ist hier und im Folgenden geschlechtsneutral zu sehen. 2 Das Anliegen dieses Beitrags kann nicht sein, durch die Analyse der Kundenrezensionen zu Judith Hermann ein allgemeingültiges Profil derer zu erstellen. -

Echoes and Oscillations: Poetics, Public Intellectualism, and Contemporary Literature in the Work of Juli Zeh by Lars Richter A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Germanic Languages, Literatures and Linguistics Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta © Lars Richter, 2016 Abstract Since the publication of her debut novel in 2001, German author Juli Zeh has established herself as an important figure within the landscape of contemporary German-language literature. Echoes and Oscillations: Poetics, Public Intellectualism, and Contemporary Literature in the Work of Juli Zeh examines the work of Juli Zeh with respect to how her poetological positions, her work as a public intellectual and the incorporation of modes of realistic writing in her narratives result in an interplay between diegetic and non-diegetic realities that, in turn, have an impact on the question of what role literature can play in the present cultural landscape of Germany and beyond. Through the analysis of Zeh’s poetological writings and her work as public intellectual, Echoes and Oscillations defines Zeh as a politically committed author who revives the long- standing model of author as public intellectual and transports it into the twenty-first century. The analysis of selected novels with respect to echoes of traditions of realistic writing from German literary history leads to a re-conceptualization of the term ‘contemporary German-language literature.’ Exemplified through Zeh’s texts, the dissertation proposes a model that regards contemporary literature as being embedded in, being mindful of, and commenting on their time via the tight interconnection between sociopolitical discourses and her fictional and nonfictional work.
